Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Taped as a lavish cable television special in 1997, IOne Night Only/I trades on the Bee Gees' shape-shifting career as pop survivors. Over the course of 111 minutes, this straightforward concert, produced at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and groomed for both video and CD posterity, sprints through 31 songs from their past three decades. Even after the inevitable disco jokes are expended, and the jaundiced viewer contemplates the role hats, hairspray, and comb-overs now play in dressing the once stylishly long-haired troika, the Gibb brothers' signature vocal harmonies and hook-laden song craft beg respect.pCasual listeners can't be blamed for equating the Bee Gees with the dance floor bonanza they reaped through 1978's ISaturday Night Fever/I, yet that commercial zenith was actually the culmination of a comeback for a group that had seemed washed up by the early 1970s. IOne Night Only/I thankfully takes an even-handed view of both their original late 1960s hits ("Massachusetts", "To Love Somebody", "Lonely Days"), building from a cannily Beatle-browed vocal sound, and the 1970s blue-eyed soul ("Jive Talkin'", "Nights on Broadway") that led them naturally into disco. The IFever/I hits are here, as are Gibb originals that clicked for other acts; the family circle also widens for a posthumous duet with their late brother, Andy Gibb, while Celine Dion gets star billing in the collaborative "Immortality". --ISam Sutherland/I

(Hercules)) 28 out of 28 found this review helpful The Bee Gees have always been great performers, but this is their career topping concert. Four decades of songs are showcased here with impeccable harmonies and a first class band. The highlights are the guest appearances whether ala 'Nat King Cole' style or real like Celine Dion. Yup, Franki Valli and a tear-jerking Andy Gibb can be heard here as well as the Celine highlight. There is too much and too little as great songs like, "Nights On Broadway" and "Guilty" are cut short, but the typical 'Bee Gees song medley' and the 'Night Fever/More Than A Woman' segment made up for that. In retrospect, the concert could have had more lighting effects, but, geez, the sound is just so good, you wonder if it really makes a difference. This was a historic event. A non stop tour of the Bee Gees October 19, 2001 walibe@btinternet.com (United Kingdom) 13 out of 13 found this review helpful This is one of the few chances to see the Bee Gees in concert and performing live. Each of the one night concerts were exceptional and this one is no different. They attempt to cover alot of ground from early to modern day bringing their work to many in the audience who will never of heard much of the older disco songs. This is an essential purchase for any Bee Gees fan. The greatest concert from the greatest group of all time.... September 1, 2001 12 out of 12 found this review helpful And I was there! At least, not at the concert which was recorded for this video, but for the One Night Only in London. A lifelong Bee Gees fan, I was expecting a great night, but could never in my wildest dreams have imagined what I got. Everything you see on the video is exactly what you got. An immaculate performance enjoyed by a crowd that spanned three generations, who were on their feet from the first note to the last, and who sang along to all the songs.pLove 'em or hate 'em, they are consummate professionals who have been around longer than me, and it just keeps on getting better! Long may they continue. Timeless Sounds December 8, 2001 Arnold Huron (San Antonio, Texas USA) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful This DVD makes an excellent gift. The concert was filmed LIVE in LAS VEGAS.The Show starts with a bang. The Gibb brothers show great form musicianship. I thought their vocals would not be as strong. I was wrong, all of their songs are not only strong, but timeless. The high point is performances of songs written for other artists, such as Islands in The Stream,Guilty,Heartbreaker,Our Love,(Don't Throw It All Away)(a special tribute with their late brother, Andy Gibb) and Immortality,featuring a guest appearance by Celine Dion. Both Picture and Sound quality are excellent. The USA version has a special DTS version Available. No word when UK will ever get this version.This is a definite must have for any Bee Gee fan. So stop reading this and buy it! You won't regret it! Class, Class and Class November 27, 2000 bobhubbard@lineone.net (England) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Bee Gees fan or not,this is a must for live music fans.An absolutely outstanding night of entertainment.Not only there own hits but their renditions of hits they wrote for others.every track is a reminder of the past and up to the night of the concert.Their harmonies are bits of 'Magic'. they are polished professionals,and boy does it show.
